Circle Jerks

Hardcore punk
Hardcore punk

Circle Jerks is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of 7 Seconds, Combat Records, I Don't Care, Black Flag and The Germs. Those roots explain a lot about how Circle Jerks arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Minor Threat, Reagan Youth, D.I., The Teen Idles and Gang Green, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Green Day, The Offspring, Bad Religion, Blink-182 and Pennywise, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 46 connections around Circle Jerks, reaching back through 7 Seconds and forward to Green Day.
